Our pass blocking has been mediocre since last season, go watch the pats film they got destroyed by the pats interior pass rush. They are lucky Bryce isn’t a statue back there cause we would be leading the league in sacks given up. 
 

Our run blocking is elite though. Icky and Moton are both way better run blockers than pass blockers

We all agree they’re great at run blocking and data shows 3rd in NFL in run block win rate.  But I would really like more balance with pass protection. Only 27th in pass block win rate is disappointing and needs fixing if we want a more balanced attack.image.thumb.png.f3db658b4f7015149ab33858081450bc.png

We're playing backs at key spots s ross half games so far....inconsistent pass pro is gonna be hard to overcome.

Pass blocking is a really hard stat to correlate into real world. There are some parts of it that are incredibly dependent on things well beyond the linemen. 

Play calling can affect it, receivers route running, chipping from backs, QB awareness and mobility, strength of play action, adjustment calls at the line. And those are all things we're still working on here.

I also think we are getting closer to the right recipe for our O-line. I think Cade Mays at Center is the right move. BC at guard seems to be working out. And I really need to see Moton back in this line up to see if we are showing overall improvement.

We aren't there yet, obviously, but something is beginning to gel.

Could we splurge on a center in the second round?  Cade Mays at center looks serviceable as a later round pick but, I’m not sure that you can count on that too often…

We’ve had opportunities to take 2 of the top 5 Cs in the game and instead we took TMJ and Johnathan Brooks. Our drafts since 2017 have been 1 player per draft and then huge misses on lots of really good NFL players (who the huddle have talk about in the draft threads).

It’s been mentioned here so many times to draft more OL once you get to the 2nd and beyond since C/G talent is top tier in day 2 and lots of surprise day 3 guys.

Taking Brooks over Frazier just looks worse and worse as our OL helps Chuba and Rico look great and Frazier would be a large improvement over Mays.

You have to invest in the middle via the draft. Its cheap and easy and rounds 2 and 3 are gold for interior linemen. I've been banging this drum since Kalil's neck injury. Draft your anchor in the middle and keep him. The chemistry between center and QB is the most important on the field. Paradis, Bozeman, Corbitt. Good lawd.

The people complaining about our pass protection aren't watching other games. At worse our OL is at least an average pass protecting OL. NFL pass rushers are good. This ain't Alabama where you can hang out behind an OL of future pros protecting against future Amazon warehouse workers.

I have it and it’s bad. The people who made this graphic watch all the games and they agree it’s bad.

He just wanted to fit in a jab at Bryce with the Alabama comment. Our OL is not very good at pass blocking as is, they need time to settle in and get a different line up each week. Really hard on them as a unit

    • I agree with you in that I think we can take one on the road, two against this opponent would be a tall order.  Not impossible, but we'd be making it awfully hard on ourselves.
    • Dylan Larkin has requested a trade from the Red Wings: https://thescore.com/nhl/news/3550045 Trade Aho for Larkin. Work it out. Whatever it takes. I've always liked Larkin's game and I think he'd be a great fit alongside Jarvy and Svech.
    • This is a how I recall it as well. It was one "this year" 2nd and two future 1sts. Very few are able to predict the future, but I feel you had to label those 1st as late 20s. The true blunder was what you stated, before you turn down that massive offer, its a 100% must you sign Burns cause that value is still elite QB level offer. As we know either happened and Dan was a first time GM needing to fix this blunder of blunders. He or the group made the choice about not giving BB 30 per, I get it since he had holes in his game.  The issue here is the issue since 2018= tepper. Sometime either during the hiring process or with the two years, Im fairly certain trepper demanded a QB on the roster with a capable roster to compete. Fittererererererer job was on the line and he gassed up trepper into believing BY and the roster were ready to win..................... That roster of 2023 in hindsight was awful, I was wrong....... I thought even with a rookie BY they could have challenged for the NFC south, not a chance with that dogshit team and coaching staff.......whom I was also fooled about. Now you have the worst team 2-14 without 1st overall pick, DJ Moore, and no Brian Burns.  I don't know what or why or ____ just the panthers and finding good WRs with long careers is just cursed. You got Smitty and moose, that's about it for 25 years until they drafted DJ Moore.....so 3 dudes in 26+ years AND you trade one for a QB whom needs a team that doesn't struggle to find WRs......... Fittererererere was just like Morgan, he was a rookie GM and this team even back to 2020 just has failed at adding talent, young talent, or difference makers. Even look at the roster- Dbrown is about the only great player drafted in what feels like 10 years(horn struggles and tmac only 1 year)..... Treppers pressure is legend and him bringing in people with such little exp to fix the team was the main reason for 2 win 5 win seasons. He should have hired a old gray haired guy, but I know treppers ego would not allow someone else to have the answer.  I've work with teppers type and still do...... Smart people observing them know "if its not their idea, they want nothing to do with cause weird human reasons" Doesnt matter if my idea can solve the issues with 24 hours and it 100% corrects the problem, nah his plan is for 3 weeks with different Appaloosa Strategies.......... I do think he finally took a few steps back and allowed Dan and Daves staff to learn on the job, he had no choice given the league refused his money.
